Tony Romo wins tournament after 3 2nd-place finishes

He showed his bonafides on Sunday, beating out other athletes and celebrities to take home the American Century Championship at Lake Tahoe with five birdies in his final round in a tournament he has finished as runner-up three times.

He topped other current and former professional athletes Aaron Rodgers, Stephen Curry, Ray Allen, John Smoltz and Mark Mulder to secure the trophy and the $125,000 check that came with the title.

“It’s a special win,” Romo said. “It’s a privilege to play in this event. I think I’ll always feel lucky. It’s one of our favorite weeks of the year.”
